The numbers behind Mohammed Kudus’ performance against Crystal Palace show the Tottenham winger is edging closer to his best.Mohammed Kudus missed most of the year through a hamstring injury and only made his return for Spurs in August. Since then, however, the winger has been building rhythm and improving with each passing game.Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi was pleased with Kudus’ display against Chelsea, describing the Ghanaian as one of the match-winners.He said: “But Mathys Tel played very well. I think we won the game with two wingers, Kudus and Mathys, they made the difference. Also Micky van de Ven, because he was unbelievable with the ball. I think, in my time, Micky van de Ven played the best game.”M.

He also created three chances, one of which was a big chance. Of his nine dribble attempts, he completed four.WhoScored were more generous and gave Kudus a 7.91/10.

As it stands, though, the early signs suggest the wide forward is steadily getting back to his best.READ MORE: Roberto De Zerbi reveals why James Maddison was rooted to the Tottenham bench vs PalaceThe post Tottenham have a 7.91/10 star who is finally getting back to his best after 91% statistic appeared first on Spurs Web.
